Title: Azadi
Author: Timothy Wren

Relationship: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang
Warnings: Age difference, unmentioned, and everyone is a consenting 20+ adult in this; smut
Word Count: 2,196 (complete)
Summary: It’s not how it begins, of course, but somewhere in the middle of the night, in the middle of the year, in the middle of the relatively calmer part of their lives, there is this:
Roy, gasping: "Fullmetal–"
"I’ve been Ed to you for years, Roy." As he slides his automail leg against Roy’s thigh. "Or is there something you want to tell me?"
Fullmetal was dangerous, a force of nature, but Ed evokes a terrifying cacophony of warm emotions in Roy’s chest, fondness and exasperation and some measure of awe, and comradery, of intellectual challenge and a measure of truly equal partnership that Roy never imagined having, comfort in his own home and his own skin, and all told Fullmetal’s the safer option.
"You’ve caught me out." He gasps, fingers curling in the sheets. "I’m just with you for the automail."
I’m typing up a personal reference for which cards are under which for personal use, and for anyone else in this fandom.

Summary: The exam wants them to destroy robots, which is both painfully ironic and deeply satisfying. Once, he might have hesitated– a year ago, maybe. Now his body knows these steps and jumps into the rhythm like a familiar dance.
The hardest part is keeping his armor under his skin.
This month is April, and for the first time I’m confident enough to try Roughtrade— the writing challenge site by Keira Marcos and Jilly James, among others, where you do a themed version of NaNoWriMo (essentially). This year’s April challenge allowed for one 25k fic so, after double-triple-checking, I jumped on the chance. If you know me, you know I rarely have the golden time/spoons/motivation combo to accomplish a genuinely long fic, or a full-length novel of a fic (50k). In fact, my longest completed fic is A Trebled Soul, which I published earlier this year, and acts as a…
